equation of the line question

Hello, I doing questions set to me and I cannot do the first part of the last question. (I can do the second part), and was wondering whether or not anyone can help me :smile:

The points A(2,6) and B(5,10) are two adjacent corners of a square.
a) Find the equation of the line on which the side BC.

Does anyone know how to do this and would be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I guess you could work out the distance, because it's a square, and the distance is the same all the way around, and then work out the co-ordinates of C. Work out the gradient of BC and put it into the equation format?

What is the line perpendicular to AB that passes through B?
